"Swimmin With The Sharks" lyrics

You never see 'em comin' 'till they're pullin' you down
Princes of Atlantis with blood on their crowns
They act as if they're slummin', say they're buyin' you cheap
Tell you what the plan is tryin' to get you in deep
Get you in deep

Oooh
And by the time you stop and think
By the time you turn around
It's too late - you're already sinking
It doesn't matter if you drown
You gotta know

You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimmin' with the sharks
Every smile conceals a knife
That'll find you in the dark
You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimmin' with the sharks
The strong alone survive
The dive!

The prettier the faces, babe, the blacker the souls
Underneath the heat are the coolest of cold
They treat you like a driver, takin' them for a ride
Tantalizin' bait to reel you in with the tide
In with the tide

Oooh
And by the time you stop and think
By the time you turn around
It's too late - you're already sinking
It doesn't matter if you drown
You gotta know

You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimmin' with the sharks
Every smile conceals a knife
That'll find you in the dark
You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimmin' with the sharks
The strong alone survive
The dive!

Oooh
Another pill, another drink
Doesn't matter anymore
It's too late - you're already sinking
Oooh
Another needle dripped in ink
Isn't washin' you ashore
It's too late - you're already sinking
It doesn't matter if you drown
You gotta know

You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimmin' with the sharks
Every smile conceals a knife
That'll find you in the dark
You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimmin' with the sharks
The strong alone survive
The dive!
When you're swimmin' with the sharks
The dive!
When you're swimmin' with the sharks
The dive!
When you're swimmin' with the sharks
The dive!
When you're swimmin' with the sharks
